Would this work for creating cubed steak or should I get a mallet instead?

it won't Create Cube steak like from the Butcher...however you can create very tender Cube Steak Like out of cheaper cuts of beef. One of the most important tools in my kitchen...I use on beef, chicken, pork

I have used this tool to tenderize the meat before cutting into small pieces.Works great.

I think this would work great for creating cubed steak. I really like using mine for tenderizing steak.

Not sure if this would give you a cube steak but it works wonderful on all beef that I have used. I bought my daughter one too.

i would not use the magnum if you are doing just chicken bones. it is very good if grinding the meat and bones together. But i wanted to give my cats chunks of meat in addition to the ground so i cleared the chicken bones on about 10 and proceeding to grind them. although it worked, the bones got stuck several times and when i went to take the grinder apart to clean, it would not budge. i had to use chop sticks to push the pieces of bones out (took quite some time) and then the grinder finally opened

It works great, but you need a good sharp knife as well. I got the commercial knife called Fat Daddio. Just keep it away from small children!

Yes, make sure you get the right blade for it. If it is the thick metal plates, a standing band saw may be better though!

I would recommend a thin kerf blade for that - 60 tooth is a good choice but look into a frued diablo (spelling?) for that.

I am happy with the mallet, I use it for shamanic journeying and find the tone created is just right. Too much sound from the drum can become a distraction for me, so I guess it depends on what kind of tone quality you are looking for.

Look into the Arbortech mini turbo kit which is smaller but the plane is extended away from tool which allows deeper hollowing. It depends on what your wanting to sculpt but both would most likely work.

The Eight Inch Set Will Work The Best.....If You Nee A Greater Cutting Depth.....But They Both Will Work Just Fine For Normal Use....

I have no idea. I thought it was for simple small enlargements that could be hammered out using a rawhide mallet.

I wouldnt. it really isnt that great for for practice mechanical tips. it breaks up pretty easily. if you want one for broadheads go to a block.

I don't think it would do well. I tried to mix garlic and butter and the butter didnt work out. It would spin around a revolution or two and then move to the top and not make contact with the blades any longer

Yes, we just did a trial set up. The stakes are really sturdy so I would suggest a good mallet.

I consider these to be strictly hand tools for use with a mallet. I do not think the wood/metal joint on the handle would stand up to lathe work.

Thanks for your answer, but I mentioned that I wanted to use it with a cordless drill, not in a drill press. If I hold the plastic lid down with my feet and go slow with the cordless drill, would it work. I don't want to spend much more for a quality 5" hole saw, and thought this tool would work, especially for adjusting hole size as needed.

1 chunk for up to 3/4" thickness steak cooked to medium. No problem. I use pecan or mesquite.

I'm no expert, but I'm guessing if you've tried a stone already this one won't do it for you. Check out a local fab shop and have them use a grinder on your ax. You can get a nice edge if you know what you're doing with a grinder.

I have never tried it, but it might work. You may want to try to find someone who has one that you could borrow to try it out before you invest. Or, you could try to press the meat thru an appropriate colander with the back of a spoon. If that gives you the desired result, then the ricer would probably work the same, but easier, cleaner, etc.
